I have this working in both Flex 1.2 w/Kit 1.0.1 and Flex 3 w/Kit
1.1.2
But what I found in Flex 3 is there are now 2 Commands:
Convert Symbol to Flex Component
Convert Symbol to Flex Container
I needed to use the 1st one "Flex Componet"
I also needed to change my code to use the Symbol Name not the
instance name > the Output message clued me in on this change-it said
Symbol "Ny_Metro_export" can be used as a Flex component.
in Flex I just used that name and Flex compiled and it runs.
<local:Ny_Metro_export id="nysMap"
scaleX="{(layoutCanvas.height/MAPHEIGHT)*.80}"
scaleY="{(layoutCanvas.height/MAPHEIGHT)*.80}" />
Other things to check:
-Besure you get a fresh swc > even delete it 1st to be sure your
publishing to the correct location.
-Besure you publish then trigger a recompile on the Flex side else
you are running an old version of the swc. To be sure I put trace
out in Flash with a number and I incrument the number. Then run the
Flex app in debug mode and you will see the trace.
